keep my husband in your thoughts

Hello, I am the wife of lcbjr1979. Please keep him in your thoughts my husband was shot early this morning while treating a patient. The doctors
expect him to be fine but nothing is certain. My husband loves this site and has said he likes alot of people on here. I just felt like I should post
here and let his friends know that he may not be around here for awhile. If anyone has any questions I am sure my husband would want me to answer them
so I will check in here from time to time and answer as many as I can.

He is a paramedic and was called to a house for a child who fell down the staris. From what I have been told by his partner and the officers that
responded there, my husband was treating the child and the father of the child was under the influence of something and admitted that he pushed his
kid down the stairs. My husband got on the radio to inform police and the father went into a room came out and shot him in the back. His partner
subdued him and police arrived and arrested him.

He is going back to school to be a doctor, still working on his bachelors. I am not sure what you mean by star and flag but anyway thank you for the
kind words. I will have an update tomorow for you all. I have to try and firgure out a way to tell our daughter what happened and why daddy isnt home
tonight so I am sure that will wreck me for the night. Thank you everyone for the nice words so far. I can see why my husband loves this site.

The doctors say it is not critical so I am guessing serious. I really do not know much about medicine and I was a bit in a haze while the doctor was
speaking with me. All I know for sure is the doctor says he will live. The bullet did a bunch of damage inside and his lung collapsed. The spine was
not hit and the bullet came out the front by his shoulder.

No apology necessary. That's just me pointing out the obvious as usual.

lcbjr1979's wife - If you were my next door neighbor I'd watch your kids while you visited the hospital or make you dinner so you would have time to
do what you needed. Anything us online people can do for you?

While going through your husband's threads and posts, to add stars and flags. I found this little treasure. I hope it makes you smile. We need to
keep you and your little girl in our thoughts too.

One of the memories I will cherish for a very long time was in July. I was outside playing baseball with my 4 year old daughter. I would throw her the
ball and she would hit it, and then she would pretend to run the bases while doing her own play by play. The thing that makes this memorable was that
it was the first time she hit the ball over our backyard fence. The fence was about 25 feet away from where she was standing. The look on her face was
priceless. She circled the "bases" shouting home run home run home run. It is very hard to put into words how happy I was to see her have this
moment.

During the begining of January during a blizzard I got called out to work. I am a paramedic by the way. The call was for a woman 9 months pregnant who
was in labor. She was not able to drive and her husband was stuck out of town due to the blizzard. She lived about 5 miles out of town and it took us
close to 30 minutes to get to her because the visibility was so bad. When we got there we realized that she was in active labor and we decided that we
would probably not make it to the hospital in time, and we also almost got stuck on our way there and the last thing we wanted was to get stuck with
her in the ambulance trying to get to the hospital. My partner acted as coach and I assisted with the delivery of the child. I say assist because all
I really did was catch, clear out the babys airway and make sure it was well. It was a baby boy, very big, with very large lungs. My partner called
our dispatch center and explained we delivered the child on scene but we needed to be sure we could get mom and baby back to town and to the hospital.
Dispatch was able to send a county snow plow to our area and we followed it back to town. It was the first time I ever delivered a baby. It was an
amazing feeling.
